Chapter 832 Thalia Cooperates

The man's body stiffened as he eyed Thalia's dagger.

"W-What are you trying to do?" he asked, staring intently at her knife. He looked as if here was afraid that it would cut them.

However, Thalia casually played with the knife in her hand. The blade slid along the cheek and suddenly pressed against the man's face. Her beautiful eyes appeared to even darker as she said, "What do you think I want to do? Get the money and leave?"

"I... I've done things too, so why can't I have any room for choice?" the man asked, staring at her blankly.

"Once the task is done, you'll naturally have choices, but if it's not finished, you have no options!" Thalia said, emphasizing each word.

"You-"

"What about me?" Thalia looked at him and asked in return. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was full of pressure.

She wasn't actually angry. Normally, Thalia appeared to be a girl without care. However, once she got upset, an intense aura would envelop her.

The man looked on with a hint of fear in his eyes. Still, he mustered the courage to speak. "I'm telling you, it doesn't matter who you are. If you really get hurt, you won't be able to leave this place unscathed!" Upon hearing this, Thalia laughed and said, "Oh, really?"

"So, if you know what's good for you, let me go, and we can pretend nothing ever happened!" he said.

Thalia laughed softly, her voice filled with mockery. "I, Thalia Jacoway, have wandered the society for so many years, and there's no wolf's den that I haven't been to. I'm also curious to see if I can walk out of this place unscathed!"

The man looked at her, somewhat at a loss for words.

Why does this woman not get intimidated by these tactics?

Anthony watched from the side, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. However, he soon hid his smile. He walked over and said, "Alright, Thalia, stop scaring him."

As he spoke, he looked at the man and said softly, "Actually, we don't have any other intentions. We were just a bit suspicious. Please don't mind!"

The man looked at Thalia's unsheathed knife and didn't dare to make any sudden moves. "Is this called being overly suspicious?"

"Thalia!" Anthony looked at her.

Thalia hesitated for a moment before reluctantly putting away the dagger.

The man looked on and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Anthony looked at him and said, "Don't worry, the beautiful lady here may be fierce, but she's not unreasonable. As long as you finish what you're supposed to do next, I guarantee you won't be in any danger!" He was using both hard and soft tactics.

There was no way that the man did not understand.

However, at this moment, he had no other choice.

Looking at Anthony, the person nodded. "Of course."

"Let's go then!" Anthony said.

The man looked on and nodded. However, as they walked further into the hospital and got closer to the ward, his unspoken worries grew increasingly apparent.

Just as they were about to reach the entrance of the ward, the man suddenly stopped in their tracks. "My stomach feels a bit off. I need to use the restroom." Anthony looked at him and said, "Great, I'm going there too. Let's go together!"

The person was rendered speechless.

Thalia looked at them. "I'll guard the door for you."

The man did not know what to say.

Even if he had any plans up his sleeve, he couldn't muster the energy to execute them at this moment.

After hesitating for a moment, he gave up and said, "Forget it, I don't want to go anymore. Let's just go meet the person directly. I can go after we're done." Anthony nodded, "That works too."

With that, the man led them toward the ward.

As they approached the door, the man seemed somewhat hesitant. Noticing his anxious expression, Anthony asked, "What's wrong? Is there something going on?" The man looked at Anthony and shook his head with a smile, "No, no!"

Anthony nodded.

Just as they were about to enter the patient's room, they suddenly caught sight of someone else carrying some fruits and fresh flowers.

Anthony glanced at Thalia. She immediately understood his intentions and walked straight toward that person.

Soon, a deal was struck, and Thalia purchased the stranger's fruits and flowers at a high price.

Watching Thalia return with the items, Anthony nodded in satisfaction. "It won't feel too abrupt if we go with this. The man looked on, a faint smirk playing at the corner of his lips. Despite that, he did not say a single word. After that, they went straight to the hospital ward.

It was a private hospital ward, and the door was left open. A woman sat on the bed, her gaze fixed on the view outside the window.

Upon seeing the woman, Anthony glanced at Thalia. At that moment, she stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The woman looked toward the entrance at the sound. When she saw them, her eyebrows furrowed. "Who are you?"

Anthony walked in with a smile. "We're Magus' friends. We heard you were sick, so we came to visit you."

The woman looked at them, half-believing and half-doubting. She finally rested her gaze on the person standing behind them.

The man stood there, not knowing whether to speak or to remain silent.

Thalia placed fresh flowers and fruits on the table. The woman's face was pale, but upon seeing Thalia's actions, she still smiled and said, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome," Thalia replied with a smile.

The woman looked at them. "Sit, sit!"

Anthony pulled out a stool and sat down directly. Thalia also took a seat nearby. The man was visibly anxious and restless as he watched them. He was unable to sit still.

At that moment, the woman looked at them and asked, "You're looking for me? Is there something you need?"

Anthony looked at her and shook his head, "It's nothing, I just came to see you."

"Oh!" The woman looked puzzled, and then continued, "But I've broken up with him for a long time now. You see, I..."

"Although you broke up, but his heart only has you in it, right?" Anthony said with a smile. "Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to care for you when you were sick, would he?"

The woman looked at him, wondering if it was just a child speaking without intention, or if she was reading too much into it.

Upon hearing this, she did manage to discern another layer of meaning.

However, she still smiled and denied it, "I really don't know what you guys are talking about. I broke up with him a long time ago."

Anthony glanced around and noticed the expensive supplements placed nearby. Each item was quite pricey. His gaze narrowed slightly before he walked over and said, "These health products aren't cheap, are they?" Then, he looked at Thalia and asked, "Didn't you use to take these daily?"

Thalia glanced around, knowing there was more to his words, and cooperated by saying, "Yes, I took it every day, but it's not that expensive. It's around one or two hundred thousand per box?"

Upon hearing this, the woman's face changed slightly. Then, looking at Anthony, she said awkwardly, "They were a gift from a relative."

"Your relatives are quite generous!" Anthony said.

The woman smiled sheepishly and nodded. "Yeah."

Other than that, nothing more was said.

Staring at the health products, Anthony let out a soft chuckle as he put them down.

Their reactions had confirmed his suspicions, especially the person who accompanied them. The man's gaze was constantly fixed on the outside, as if he was afraid of seeing something. However, the more one feared something, the more likely it is to happen.

Just then, Magus' figure passed by outside.
